What does Ertxiem stand for?

[Ertxiem]

What front door? It's now smashed because of you writing those things!

By the way, Ert has a meaning of it's own that I found out only after I chose my nickname. You may look for it too.

Edit: By the way, care to explain the "true" reason behind the dead cow joke?

Estrogen Replacement Therapy?

[Ertxiem]

Nah. That may be related to "dead cow"! Ouch! But that wasn't what I had in mind.

What dead cow joke?

[Ertxiem]

It was a bug in the spelling software. I already corrected it. Sorry about that.
I meant:
By the way, care to explain the "true" reason behind the dead cow bloke?
I.e., what is the "true" reason for me to be a dead cow?

[bugfartboy]

Based on my theory that you mods are just programs, it's quite simple. You weren't quite finished when Craig first put you online, so when you first wished to be a dead cow, or rather KZ granted your wish to be a dead cow, it simply ingrained itself into your personality codes. Or if you mean from what we know, you hadn't gotten enough sleep, wish to be a dead cow, and it's carried over from the old forums.

[Ertxiem]

No, I mean, why a dead cow?
You told me where I came from. Now I just want to know what I am!!! * A dramatic song plays in the background... *

[bugfartboy]

Personality glitch. When you were first programmed, Craig told you to pick an animal as your favorite. Then you connected to a game in which cows die. Viola! Dead cow.

[ArtDrake]

What is it with you and violas?

Moving on, it was probably a result of the bad pun sequence that results from someone calling a mod holy, leaving a user no choice but to suggest that they are actually "holey". Thus, dead cow.

[bugfartboy]

Viola's are my life. I mean, purple is one of my school colors!! GO ****** *******!!!!!

I still think it's a personality glitch.

[bugfartboy]

Once there was a dead cow.
Who loved to stand on the bow.
But there came a big wave,
and with his large seafood crave,
he lives under the ocean now.

Meixtre is a Portuguese name, isn't it?

[Ertxiem]

Not really, but it's close enough to 'mestre' (if you say it with a funny accent).
So close that I'm thinking if I should disclosure now why I chose my name.

[ArtDrake]

Ah, well. You could do that. But where would the fun be?

(It's just that, every time I serched "Meixtre", I got only Portuguese results, and a couple of times it seemed to be used in the context of a name, usually as a nickname, and always for someone linked to sports. Eh, I don't know if that can be explained. Of course, the natural thing to do when confronted with a word so alien and strange as "Ertxiem" would be to write it backwards. I'm fairly sure that you use the Portuguese time zone, or at least I think I remember that from when you could look at that under people's profiles, so it makes sense that it would be in that language... but I guess my guess that it was your name was in error.)

[spoiler=clues]
Meixtre is indeed a nickname, but not related to sports. And I'm in the UK, Ireland and Portuguese timezone, just to mention the European countries.
